Thats what I was thinking! He said that they mounted to the factory crossmember?? So would you say its a decent kit? Also comes with a fa600 drop pitman arm.
Is there anything else I will need to lift my 94 limited?
..That is a decent little set up for a 6" lift and should be within your budget..
..The RA's used to mount to the factory cross member before they were extended..now they will be at least a foot to long to do that..Ask to see how they were mounted and if what they mount to is included otherwise you will need to fabricate something up before you finish installing this lift..
..You will still need to do a SOA (spring over axle) in the rear and you will need camber bushings and an alignment for the front, long3er shocks, and extended brake lines..
..Scoring the FA600 is a big plus though..:biggthump
..The SOA and other links to threads about lifts can be found in the "How To" in my signature..
Well I already have the extended brake lines installed, so all I would need is some radius arm mounts and shocks for the front and then do a soa in the rear with longer shocks right?
the stock radius arm mount can be moved back,, if it is separate of the trans crossmember,,
if not get another from the junkyard and use it behind the stocker,,
..plus the mounting hardware for the axle pivot brackets and RA mounts..You will want to add some re-enforcing to the pivot brackets at their mounting "ears" as they tend to crack..
..:scratch:..I don't believe I'm missing anything but hopefully someone will chime in just to verify your list..

..I may be wrong but I do not believe that you can move the (un-modified), stock RA mount back due to it's relationship and angle that it sits at on the frame in it's original location..
..I believe this would turn the mounting holes to face the ground and I think the frame actually widens out as you go back..
..This is why I believe you will need to make new RA mounts if none are supplied with this "Kit"..
I see Tuff Country axle brackets, unknown coils, and home-built extended RAs in that pic (the RAs do appear to be done decent, from what I can see in the small pic).
I'd post a pic of the pitman arm though... Make sure it's not a standard arm being passed off as a FA600 arm.
Yeah, the stock RA frame brackets are at a weird angle that can make them harder to use if moved back on the frame.
